Avocado Citrus Salad
"A delicate tangy salad or side dish! Far from your boring lettuce and dressing or simple fruit salads. compliments almost any meat prepared any way, or fabulous alone as a lunch or light dinner. GREAT food for people trying to stay healthy or watch their weight, packed full of vitamins and very satisfying! my own creation after forgetting to go to the grocery store before a dinner at home date. this recipe is sure to impress and sooooo easy to prepare. buying pre sectioned citrus will save lots of time."
